15) I am shipping via LCL. Why can’t my LCL shipment be loaded on a ‘ or 0’ container right at my residence? What happens to my shipment after it is loaded on the shipping company’s truck?

LCL shipments are by definition Less than Container Load cargo and is a term used to refer to smaller size shipments that are not large enough to use a Full Container Load (FCL). Your LCL shipment is trucked to one of our purpose built warehouses or to a warehouse or our agent’s warehouse (if we don’t have a warehouse close to your city) where it is palletized / stacked in lift vans and loaded along with other LCL shipments on to a container using forklifts.
